TIMI

Shoes that fit every occasion

Imagine if everyone had only one pair of shoes. Shoes that grew with us from the day we took our first steps through our adult years. Shoes that changed as fashions changed. Shoes that automatically adapted to every surface and condition. Shoes that changed from ice skates to roller skates, from flats to high heels, from ruby slippers to black wing tips. Those shoes would be called TIMIs.

The IBM i Technology Independent Machine Interface, or TIMI, is an abstraction layer insulating users and their applications from the underlying hardware. It has enabled companies using IBM i to move among different processor generations and disk technologies without disrupting applications. It has simply but powerfully protected companies’ investments in their business applications over decades.
